D Smith looked like a potential top 10 forward (based on this game). It will be interesting to see if this is reflected in the next game. Whilst Higgins is a popular rookie pick, I struggle to see how is in the best 22 for Richmond given the depth and strength of their team at the moment. I am thinking he might be a downgrade option later in the year. Just my view.

Merrett went down half way through the first quarter so it is hard to tell if it was more because he was down, but it did seem he was still playing mid during the first few minutes that Merrett was on the field.
He was still rotating mid and fwd though
